Serotonin Wraith replied to CuriousEm's discussion 'My argument with my Christian friend'1 hour ago

I know someone who was never religious, but who went into Christianity in her 30s. Just knowing it's there in the background of society (at least in the UK) is enough for some people to think there's something to it, and when thinking about the de...

I know that people tend to wax philosophical over morality and ethics but I think, under normal circumstances, the Golden Rule is all one needs to be moral: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." As we mature, human experience and em...

this is essentially Paley's Watchmaker argument. William Paley, in his 1802 work Natural Theology, offered up the argument as proof of the existence of god. he asks us to imagine that we're walking along a beach and suddenly we come across a rock....

Nothing that wouldn't make you sound like a dick. There's nothing to say in response that wouldn't take several paragraphs of correction and links to external sources. Maybe just quote Ezekiel 23:20 or 2 Kings 2:23, to compare. A book that calls...

A lecture by Richard Dawkins

Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests". I suspect that Dr John Habgood, the Archbishop of York, probably belongs to the third of these groups, so I shall begin with them.

The "no-contests" are rightly reconciled to the fact that religion cannot compete with science on its own ground. The

in defense of Paul: the development of the role of women in the early church from equality to marginalized

very often i have seen the objection made regarding Paul's attitude toward women. this perceived attitude has been used to condemn Paul as a misogynist, hateful of women. indeed, I have seen a number of women, and some men as well for that matter, writing to say that this misogyny in the New Testament (NT) led them to reject their faith in Christianity. my aim with this post is to show that the perception of misogyny in the NT is both in a sense accurate but also inaccurate insofar as the text o… There's More

Play your gods right

My pun muscles are letting me down if that's the best I can come up with. The New Humanist's "Zeal or no Zeal?" is perfect, and there must be other religion/game-show wordplay possibilities out there. I'll keep trying.

Fear of Retribution

Recently I was invited to appear as a guest on a friend's Radio show. It is a low key intellectual show on the university network, I doubt there were more than 20 listeners tuning in. The topic was Obama's foreign policy and I suppose I was in the skeptic camp (though I subconsciously end up taming my left libertarian views). The other guest was, I hate to say it, a typical idealist supporter who has now become an apologist for VietAfghanistan but enough about that.

During the course of the sho… There's More
